How big is your group? Your travel agent should arrange for everyone in your group to be seated together. If it is a large group which requires more than one table then the tables should be near each other in the same section.

Speaking from experiance! Yes you can have it arranged! BUT you must get your travel agent to do this as soon as you are aware of how many people you will be having!

nu, you can request a table for 4. Just ask your travel agent to request it for you with the cruise line. When you get onboard the ship, see the maitre d' to confirm you have it.

Nucruiser, you shouldn't have any problem getting a table for four. You also have a choice of early or late seating. Sandy had a very wise suggestion about seeing the Maitre d' the day you board the ship. First, find your table. The table number will be on your seapass cards. If you like the location, and it's a table for four; you won't have to bother standing in line to change it.
